65: Chapter 65 Butcher Zhang (1)_1 65: Chapter 65 Butcher Zhang (1)_1 The man standing before them was tall and burly, with a black face and broad cheeks, looking like a massive black tower.
At the moment, he was stroking his chin, blocking the path of Cai Wei and her mother, grinning proudly.
His stark, predatory gaze was firmly fixed on Lady Du, his expression revealing his vile intentions at a single glance!
Lady Du was terrified, her face ghostly pale, standing there shivering in fear!
This man was none other than Butcher Zhang, who six years ago almost bought Lady Du from Mu Liankui to bring home.
Butcher Zhang, in his thirties, was impressively large and tall, with a crude and brutal temperament.
He was lustful, the most notorious ruffian within several villages.
Years ago, while slaughtering pigs at Mu Family Village, he inadvertently caught sight of the delicate beauty, Lady Du, and was immediately filled with lustful intentions.
He colluded with Mu Zhongli of the Great House of Mu, offering ten taels of patterned silver to purchase her from Mu Family’s two older folks.
Unfortunately, before he could bring the lovely woman home, he was caught red-handed by Mu Zhongqing who had returned home for a break.
The plan, therefore, was completely scrapped.
Butcher Zhang was frustrated at not being able to taste Lady Du.
It was by sheer coincidence that he stumbled upon her on the street today, the woman he had daydreamed about.
How could he miss such an opportunity and easily let her go?
Circling around Lady Du, he gave a salacious smile and chuckled, “Hehe…
Madam Scholar, our destinies are indeed intertwined.”
Lady Du was terrified to the core and leaned on her daughter, barely managing to stay on her feet.
Cai Wei patted her mother’s shoulder comfortingly and lifted her head to ask Butcher Zhang with a plastic smile, “Does your family’s parents live well?”
One of the thugs with the head of a river deer and the eyes of a rat (idiom to describe someone who’s repulsively ugly and shifty-looking), noticed that it was just Cai Wei and her mother.
Seeing Cai Wei’s pretty appearance, he was eager to tease her.
On Butcher Zhang’s behalf, he chimed in, “Why, little lady, are you interested in Zhang Da’s family affairs because your father hasn’t come home for a long time and your mother is lonely and longing for a new husband?”
At those words, Butcher Zhang erupted into coarse laughter and unashamedly replied, “Sweet child, if I become your stepfather, I will indeed spoil you and your mother.
I assure you that you both will wear silk everyday, eat the finest food, and live as happily as immortals!”
While speaking, he imagined himself with the mother and daughter lying on his traditional Chinese bed-stove, which sent him into a wave of unruly imagination and left him feeling uncontrollable excitement.
With over forty years of life experience in her two lives combined, how could Cai Wei not see through his dirty thoughts?
She gritted her teeth in uncontrollable anger.
Being teased and fantasized about by such lowlife scum was the greatest insult to her!
She clenched her fist, and managed a cold smile, whispering in retaliation.
“I asked about your parents because I can’t bear the thought of white-haired people sending off their children.
But looking at your current behavior, it’s the result of their lack of discipline.
They deserve to lose their child in their old age!”
Butcher Zhang was taken aback.
He pushed his fingers into his ears and moved his hoary face closer to her, asking, “Sweet child, what did you just say?”
With a greasy face, reeking of meat and liquor, Butcher Zhang made Cai Wei lose her breath as she took a step back supporting her mother.
Believing that Cai Wei was frightened, Butcher Zhang grew more audacious by the moment and chuckled lasciviously, advancing step by step.
The other men, his cohorts, were closing in, eyeing an opportunity to take liberties with Cai Wei.
A group of passersby, upon seeing a common girl being openly teased in broad daylight, stopped to gawk thus, encircling them to watch the spectacle unfold.
Cai Wei scanned the excited crowd, secretly cursing their apathy.
She felt disappointed.
Had they not been on the street, she would have demonstrated her abilities and left these two scums lifeless, then and there.
However, even though she couldn’t kill them, she was confident that she had enough force to make them lose all their teeth in a scuffle.
